Meeting Format
We have a guest speaker at nearly every meeting. The topics vary, but BRMA
attempts to match the suggestions of the members (from survey questionnaires
distributed at each meeting) with the topics covered.
Meetings include time set aside to discuss specific real world situations
that our members are facing. Show & Tell is a popular feature in which
members describe some recent incident or disaster they experienced. Few months
get by without someone having a story to tell of a disruption or a serious
threat of a disruption.
February/March and June meetings are all day affairs allowing us to examine a
subject in greater detail, to cover multiple subjects, or to go on a field trip.
These meetings are for members only (unless otherwise advertised).
The September all day meeting features either a Vendor Faire or Symposium
where members who are vendors of recovery products or services present their
wares or a topic is examined in depth. Guests are allowed at this meeting (for a
fee).
The November/December meeting or Annual Meeting is for members only.

Guests
Guests are welcome one time to the half-day meetings for no cost.
However, full day meetings, seminars, and the Annual Meeting are for members
only (unless otherwise advertised).
If you find your guest experience with us valuable, we suggest that you
become a member since we cannot extend the guest privilege to any individual
more than once.
